"These veteran narrators keep the plot moving and the narration fresh" — AudioFile Magazine

This program is read by Audie Award-winning narrators Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, and includes a bonus interview with the author.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. Now, this beloved series is in development for TV!

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

When The Two Rivers is attacked by Trollocs—a savage tribe of half-men, half-beasts— five villagers flee that night into a world they barely imagined, with new dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.

    " Not bad. Robert Jordan tends to go into too much details at points making sections drag on "

  • 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5 Gwendolyn Bishop | 2/12/2014

    " Horrific. Complete and painfully obvious rip off of Tolkien. Poorly written. Almost no character development. Makes an intelligent reader want to gouge her eyes out. "

    " i have started to read this a couple of times but put it down, now iam almost finished it and totally engrossed! its a pity it took quite a few chapters to get my interest to grow, looking forward to the next book in this series, now on the third book of this series and really enjoying it. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Tom | 1/31/2014

    " This entire series is out of control. I read the first 7 or 8 in high school and can't bring myself to finish. Too much boring detail! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Clyde Kaufman | 1/30/2014

    " It seems to early for me to tell. Knowing there is 13 more books at least, I feel the characters and story is interesting enough to keep going but it is not really propelling me forward as other stories have. I will keep reading to see what happens. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Matt Magee | 12/24/2013

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Chris | 9/16/2011

    " Everything that's great about this series (wonderful characters, interesting world-building) and everything that's annoying (the arbitrary withholding of information to build suspense, the ambiguous ending) are all here from the start. It's a long and bumpy road, but it's worth it so get started. "
